You weren’t hired because…

One of the most trying aspects of the job seeking process is facing a string of rejections that fail to provide a single reason as to why somebody else was considered more suitable for the position than you. In a perfect world, we would all be notified about exactly what it was that pushed us out of the race. With this information under our belt, we’d go to our next string of interviews with an idea of what we need to work on.  Unfortunately, the world doesn’t work like that, so many of us are left to struggle in the dark, pondering over what went wrong, what we could have done better and what we should do next time to improve our prospects.
